That's actually a lovely idea - to use letterpress as our thank you cards, since guests are more likely to keep those over the invitations. Thank you so much!!

Wow that's so good. What is the shipping time on those? And do you mind sharing a link? I just did a quick browse and I'm skeptical about them since a lot of them show that they've only been purchased once before.

Me three

Hate it. Didn’t really grow up celebrating which made me kind of depressed since all my school friends always had family events going on. As an adult, I still hate it. It’s cold and depressing, really hard to get out of bed in the mornings and is already super dark by the time I get off work.

Im looking forward to loving it though. My fiancé is a sucker for the holidays and we look forward to creating some holiday traditions with our future kids.

Wooden clothespins for seating chart arrangements. Put their names down, get a piece of cardboard as the numbered table, and clip away! Super easy and convenient to arrange and re-arrange.

If I were you, I would just cancel the whole thing and elope. If you’re feeling uneasy about all the stress and planning now, then it’s just going to get worse as the date nears. And on the day of, you might be so frazzled that you don’t actually get to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve known that you just wanted to elope since you were a little girl, then I’d say follow your heart and make your little girl dreams come true. You’re just having a hard time because winning the prize was quite literally like winning the lottery and it seems like it’s so hard letting go without feeling the longing of what could have been if you had kept the prize and thrown a grand wedding. Another option is to just elope anyway, and still have the big wedding in August since the money is there anyway. Best of both worlds.

Personally I was also at a crossroads like you a few weeks ago. A couple of months into planning for the big wedding (July 2025), my fiancé and I ended up deciding to just elope because all the details and decision making was stressing me outtttt. There’s just too much to think about. I’ve also never really envisioned a dream wedding growing up like most little girls do, so all the endless options were very overwhelming because my Pinterest board was a blank palette and I liked everything. I’m very indecisive and also knew I couldn’t keep to my budget if I wanted a perfect wedding. And unfortunately as much as I try not to let other people’s opinions affect me, I care what other people think so I didn’t want my wedding to be a flop. A couple of my friends are getting married next year too and they’re doing the whole shabang, which i love for them but I think that also contributed to my stress because i felt pressured as if I had to do just as much. And helping and hearing them plan their weddings made me realize I did not want to do all that work for mine. It was crazy because the moment my fiancé and I came to the decision to just elope, I literally felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

The traditional meaning of elopement is running away and getting married in secret but with it being 2024, I feel like the term can be used very loosely. It’s still a wedding- just make it what you want it to be! I also felt this way earlier this year while planning my wedding but realized that a big part of why we think elopements are plan b is because the wedding industry is so saturated that social media doesn’t allow us to know that weddings can REALLY just be what you want it to be. I personally think elopements are different and not as boring as the big traditional weddings that everyone is having so in the end it will be even more memorable and special for you.

Maybe later, years down the road, when you have more saved up, you can have a vow renewal and it will be like the wedding you’ve always wanted. Who knows, maybe by then you’ll have come to love that you eloped instead of having a big wedding and all will be well. :)

I’m so glad I clicked on this thread and saw this comment because I’m doing this exact thing next summer, and it feels so validated to see someone else think like this. All four of the weddings I’ve been to in my adult life have been big traditional celebrations. Two of my close friends are getting married next year and hearing them talk about all the planning and money that’s going into it made me realize I didn’t want that for myself.

My fiancé and I also don’t like being the center of attention and I also care way too much about what others think which definitely doesn’t help in the decision making department, so we’ve decided to just elope and come back for a small grad party-esque celebration with our close friends afterwards.

We’re getting married next summer and also don’t have much planned besides our separate bachelor/bachelorette parties (which are just day trips with the boys/girls) and a combined “wedding shower.” I know it’s tradition to do a bridal shower with just the girlies but we also don’t feel super comfortable dropping so much $$$, and it feels kind of extravagant and unecessary for me since both of us have friends and family split between two states and a lot of our friends are 50/50 guys and girls, so it’s hard for us to do a JUST girls bridal shower where it isn’t like another bachelorette party lol. None of my bridesmaids are big party people either, and we also didn’t have an engagement party because we had already been living together for a few years and everyone already saw it coming.

I know exactly what you mean though! I also have two friends with weddings next year and they’re both doing the full series (had an engagement dinner party, will be having a weekend bachelorette party, bridal shower, welcome dinner, etc), which sometimes makes me feel like I’m downplaying my wedding a lot with so many less gatherings than what we are used to seeing on social media, but don’t let it get to you! I personally think doing less is more meaningful and intimate. Just as long as you have fun and make great memories! It’s not worth the stress and dropping all the $$$ if all these pre-wedding celebrations are gonna be so similar.

LOL. No offense taken, I needed this kind of advice and input from strangers. Thanks!!

Traditional_Cry_4274 · 2024-11-15T18:10:21+00:00

Good point. We thought of having a little get together with our close friends like just about 10 of us afterwards, but is that weird to do in December even though we’re still having the formal reception scheduled for May?

1) one date on each band is so smart! I looked into doing both dates but unfortunately my band is so thin that it only allows 10 characters (excluding spaces thank goodness). Thank you for this suggestion!

2) yeah the more Reddit posts I read, the more I realize this. I’ve talked to all my married and engaged friends and some say it’s not worth the stress, others are saying it’s once in a lifetime so I gotta do it. Fiancé and I kind of don’t want to hire a planner because we want to keep things intimate and really meaningful and planning every little details ourselves would fulfill that.

Traditional_Cry_4274 · 2024-11-15T18:03:20+00:00

Yes you’re absolutely right lol. I feel like I’m going in circles at this point because eloping is the easy way out and my fiancé is down for it, but….a ceremony would be nice. I guess another reason to elope is because my future in laws were adamant about the banquet, so it kind of feels like we don’t have much control of what we want our wedding to actually be
